'He asked why I was so selfish': Kym Ng recalls emotional conversation with husband about afterlife plans, Entertainment News
Death and afterlife planning is not something that everyone finds easy to deal with — and of course it takes time to say goodbye to your loved ones when they have died. In a recent interview with AsiaOne to promote her new drama Where The Heart Belongs, local veteran actress-host Kym Ng recalled an emotional conversation she had with her husband about their afterlife plans. The 58-year-old said: "I have a very 'loud' job which makes people know me (well), but as a person, I'm not very high profile. Which is why I feel that when I die, I don't need to hold a funeral wake and let everyone know that I have passed away." Kym also mentioned to her husband that "people should come and see me when I'm still alive and beautiful but not see me when I'm dead". In response, she recounted her husband telling her: "Why are you so selfish? Even after you've passed away, you should give me time and consider my feelings too. A five-day funeral might not matter to you, but it makes a difference to me." The couple married in 2009 and do not have children. His identity has not been revealed as well. Kym's perspective of afterlife planning changed when she heard her husband's response — realising that the funeral is for the living, not for the dead, as the people around her need time to say their final goodbyes too. "It's heartbreaking for your loved ones when you pass away suddenly and you don't want anyone to know. At least when the body is still there — in the coffin — they have some time to get themselves ready (to bid farewell)." Filming quarrel scene in new drama Kym plays Zhong Yilian in Where The Heart Belongs, who is the fourth adopted mother of Situ Ziyang (Romeo Tan). Set in a fictional world, this drama focuses on Singapore's futuristic plans, where society has entered a super-ageing phase. As the number of elderly people living alone rises, young people begin adopting the elderly. While the drama explores the sombre theme of an ageing population, the filming process had its lighter moments too. When asked if there were any interesting experiences during filming, Kym shared about a quarrel scene with another character in which some strands of her hair were really pulled out. "The scene was quite hysterical and fun to film as we often see similar fights in Korean dramas or between aunties. So, we styled the scene this way, and it turned out to be quite successful," Kym shared. As the interview returned to the drama's theme, the mood shifted, and Kym ended on an emotional note. "I hope the drama will remind people to be more loving and caring towards the elderly and make them be aware of the need to pay more attention to older folks," she said. Where The Heart Belongs, which also stars Denise Camillia Tan, Zhu Houren, Xiang Yun and Yao Wenlong, is available on demand for free on Mewatch from July 28. It will also premiere on Channel 8 on July 31, airing weekdays at 9pm. [[nid:720169]] No part of this article can be reproduced without permission from AsiaOne.

No foundation on screen in 22 years: Jeanette Aw talks beauty in her 40s
Jeanette Aw has not worn foundation on screen in 22 years. The local TV star says she was told to ditch the base make-up to better suit her breakout role as naive ingenue Mo Jingjing in the Channel 8 drama Holland V (2003). "When it aired, nobody realised," says Aw. Later, it was simply "a lot easier" to act in her bare skin, when full coverage would have meant tedious touch-ups after sweaty outdoor shots or her many crying scenes. Now, some 30 TV series and a six-year acting hiatus later, the 46-year-old is filming her comeback show - still sans foundation. While acting, she typically wears only concealer. When The Straits Times meets Aw on June 27 at the opening of nail salon Nailz Haus' new Ngee Ann City outlet, she says her secret to youthful skin is consistency. She has kept up the same skincare regimen - "not beauty", she is careful to say - since her 20s, finding little to tweak in her 40s. Keeping off thick make-up to let her skin breathe is one thing. Other habits she swears by include drinking lots of warm water, no sweet drinks - which she quit in secondary school after her PE teacher said the sugar would undo the work done in class - and double cleansing every day. She says: "I use an oil cleanser first and then a very gentle face wash. That's the thing I really believe in." Her zeal for cleaning goes all the way down to her toes. She exfoliates her heels for up to a month straight at times, particularly when they get cracked and dry after work trips to Japan for her patisserie Once Upon A Time's pop-ups there, she says. Her second career in the food and beverage industry also means she keeps her nails bare. "At most, a shine and buff," she says. But beyond the skin deep, in her inner and professional life, the actress has moved far away from the limitations of her 20s. She was drawn out of on-screen retirement by the depth of her character in the upcoming drama Highway To Somewhere, a woman who goes on a road trip with her husband (Romeo Tan) to mend their flagging marriage. It is her first leading role in a Mediacorp Chinese-language drama since After The Stars (2019). Set to premiere in March 2026, the series is based on marital conflict that cuts close to the bone for many real-life couples, with depictions of quarrels and secrets, she says. "There's a lot of emotional layers to her." Jeanette Aw as her character in Highway To Somewhere. PHOTO: MEDIACORP "Some characters are loud, with a lot of big actions, and (require) a very outward kind of performance. But I tend to be into the deep, heartfelt, emotional performance right now and that is what really called out to me." It is a departure from the cutesy mould of her earlier roles. In a Freudian slip, Aw accidentally refers to her younger self in the third person while discussing her role as a "young, silly girl" in Holland V. It was a suitable gig for her at that age and one she has a lot of affection for, but she has grown into heavier roles, she says. That the complex and meaty characters she played in The Little Nyonya (2008) and The Dream Makers (2013) ebbed into typecast offers was in part behind her decision to leave the local entertainment industry in 2019. She took up bit parts in Chinese dramas afterwards and made a cameo in Emerald Hill (2025), the sequel to The Little Nyonya, though filming did not go beyond 10 days. Highway To Somewhere calls for more subtle acting, the micro-expressions that betray true feeling. "I really like that," she adds. How did Aw make the leap? Life experience is what acting comes down to, she says. In the six-year break she took from the "sheltered world" of show business to start Once Uopn A Time in 2021, she was cheated by a contractor. She had paid him a lump sum to make deliveries, with the money meant to cover his fees over time - but he disappeared without making a single run, she says. The four-figure loss stung. It was a novel experience, she adds. "In the entertainment industry, I was very protected. I didn't meet a lot of people, just other actors, the production team and the media." Running her own ship also pushed her into giving instructions, instead of taking direction. She was no longer playing roles and reading scripts, she says, referring to the heightened stakes of real-world ventures. The bachelorette adds: "When you have all that in you, that's when you can scale back and do all the inner work for an actor." Once hailed as one of the "Seven Princesses of Mediacorp", Aw is sceptical at the suggestion of a new generation discovering her work on Netflix. The streaming giant acquired the rights to The Little Nyonya in 2016 and Emerald Hill in 2024. Still, she obliges in dispensing some counsel to younger women: "Just do what makes you happy, and double cleanse."

Celeb Pawrents: Actor-couple Jesseca Liu and Jeremy Chan track their fur kids with AirTags
Celebrity couple Jesseca Liu and Jeremy Chan with their cats Tigger, a white 19-year-old male domestic shorthair, and Crusso Meimei, a three-year-old female tabby. PHOTO: COURTESY OF JESSECA LIU SINGAPORE – Celebrity couple Jesseca Liu and Jeremy Chan are so protective of their fur kids that they keep a close watch on them all the time. The actors installed closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to monitor their two cats, who are kept strictly indoors. They also placed AirTags on their collars to track their location should they escape. Liu, 46, and Chan, 43, are devoted pawrents to Tigger, a white 19-year-old male domestic shorthair, and Crusso Meimei, a grey three-year-old female tabby. Both were adopted when they were kittens. The couple currently shuttle between Singapore and Malaysia to film Mediacorp's 2026 blockbuster drama The Leftovers. The dystopian crime series about organ trafficking also stars Li Nanxing, Zhang Zetong, Cheryl Chou and Desmond Tan. Despite their busy schedules, Chan and Liu, who tied the knot in 2017, try to spend as much time with their cats as possible and constantly check the CCTV cameras via their phones to see how they are doing at home. If they are both away from home for a longer period, the popular Malaysian actress will call in her friend, who is 'the cats' godmother and takes care of them like her own children'. Liu is up for the Best Actress trophy at the Star Awards 2025 on July 6 for her strong performance in crime drama Unforgivable (2024). She also earned nominations in five other categories, including two Favourite Female Character awards for her roles in Unforgivable and the drama Once Upon A New Year's Eve (2024). Chan received three nominations for the annual Mediacorp awards, including Top 10 Male Artistes, Best Programme Host and Most Charismatic Actor. The Singaporean actor-host hosts culinary show Murder On The Menu, now showing on Channel 8 on Wednesdays at 8pm as well as on mewatch. Liu's affinity for animals can be traced back to her formative years in Langkawi, Malaysia, where there were many stray cats and dogs. 'Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by animals. In a way, they were all my pets,' she says. Before the couple adopted Crusso Meimei, they had another male tabby named Crusso, who died in November 2021 from pancreatic cancer. He was 14 years old. 'Crusso Meimei reminded us so much of Crusso that we decided to name her after her older brother,' says Liu. She adds that she has always been particularly drawn to cats. She attributes this to a sense of emotional kinship with them. 'I believe cats are very much like me – emotionally sensitive yet not overtly expressive,' she says. 'How can you tell they're sensitive? Just look at how wildly they play with you. When it comes to the humans they love, they always retract their claws. They would never intentionally hurt you.' A particularly touching memory that epitomises this bond involves her first cat, Tigger. On occasions when Liu found herself locked out of her home, Tigger would ingeniously squeeze through a window simply to sit by her side until help arrived. 'If he truly wished to run away, he could have done so easily. Yet every time he 'escaped', it was solely to be with me,' she says, adding that Tigger has always been a gentle, reliable companion. The relationship between Tigger and Crusso Meimei has evolved. Given the significant age difference – Tigger being a senior cat and Crusso Meimei still youthful – the initial adjustment period was understandably challenging. 'They had a love-hate relationship. It warms my heart sometimes to see them cosy up to each other as brother and sister,' says Liu. 'Meimei is full of boundless energy,' adds the Emerald Hill (2025) actress. 'She loves to play and knows exactly when to turn on her charm.' Describing both cats as very 'manja' (Malay for affectionate) towards them, Liu feels Tigger and Crusso Meimei may be more attached to her husband, as he spends a lot of time playing with them. 'He's also the strict dad, while I'm the gentle mum,' Liu says, adding that she's her 'cats' slave' and she cannot stop cuddling them. Both cats sleep with the couple and 'stick to us at different times'. She adds, with a laugh: 'It's funny how smart they are – they totally know who to go to depending on what they want.' Caring for Tigger and Crusso Meimei is a responsibility Liu and Chan take very seriously. Both cats are sterilised, microchipped and kept strictly indoors for their safety. 'We don't take them out as they are shy and afraid of new environments. We don't want to stress them out,' says Liu. Their dietary needs are carefully managed, with a particular emphasis on providing Tigger with proper nutrition tailored to his senior age. Despite their busy schedules, Chan and Liu, who tied the knot in 2017, try to spend as much time with their cats as possible. PHOTO: COURTESY OF JESSECA LIU While the joy of having pets is immeasurable, Liu acknowledges that it is not without challenges. A particularly alarming incident occurred in 2024 when Crusso Meimei leapt up to a cabinet and tried to jump down without realising how high it was. The resulting fall was accompanied by a distressing cry, prompting an urgent visit to the veterinarian. Fortunately, Crusso Meimei emerged unscathed, but the incident was a stark reminder of the constant vigilance that pet ownership demands. 'That incident really gave us a huge scare,' says Liu.

Tasha Low on culture, craft and chasing her own rhythm
There's a certain je ne sais quoi about Tasha Low, one that has carried her through many renditions of her creative career, with a spark that has captivated fans all over the world. And it's no wonder. At 31 years old—she turns 32 in October—the starlet, known for her doe eyes, signature locks and cherub-like visage, has showbiz in her blood, having started dancing at the tender age of two. On the beauty front, fermented rice water was traditionally used to cool the skin. Known as Bedak Sejuk or 'cold powder', it is believed to have brightening and smoothing qualities. Bee de Chaumet earrings and L'Épi de Blé de Chaumet necklace; Laichan dress. Zantz Han 'Dance was my first language of expression,' she notes. 'My father taught me ballroom dancing when I was a toddler and it became our way of bonding. That foundation gave me confidence in movement and stage presence, which later became crucial for both singing and acting.' It was this early start that led Low to debut in the K-pop group Skarf, a chapter she credits with shaping much of who she is today, from instilling discipline and resilience to refining her craft. Still, she felt a strong pull to return to Singapore and delve into local stories. 'I've always been drawn to a more holistic form of performance, where music, movement and story all come together.' Floral motifs were a familiar sight in Peranakan design, often found on vases, tiles, and everyday objects around the home. Zantz Han It's this very pull that has brought her to our screens. In Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story —the sequel to Channel 8's 2008 series The Little Nyonya —Low stars in the role of Zhang Xin Niang, in a drama that traces the lives of the Zhang family, a Peranakan household living at Emerald Hill. 'Zhang Xin Niang is strong-willed, passionate and deeply loyal to her family, yet she's constantly torn between duty and desire,' reflects Low. 'What I love about her is that she's flawed and real. She's not just a product of her time, but someone trying to break free from it.' Apart from drawing 1.35 million viewers on Mediacorp platforms as well as holding on to Netflix's top 10 streamed shows, it's clear that Low's trajectory has been set for her. As for what's in store? She hopes to release more music soon, something close to her heart, and she'll be diving into a new drama project in the second half of the year. Here, she talks about her K-pop start, honing her craft and what lies on the horizon. Songket is a decorative weaving technique that uses gold or silver threads to form intricate motifs. Drawing inspiration from this heritage craft, Malaysian fashion designer Behati created a custom jacket, reinterpreting the tradition for the present day. Bee de Chaumet earrings, necklace and bracelets; Behati jacket. Zantz Han Hi Tasha, thank you so much for joining us today. Tell us more about your beginnings in K-pop. The K-pop industry is extremely regimented; everything is planned down to the second. Coming back to Singapore, I had to adjust to a different rhythm where there was more space to contribute creatively. At first, the lack of structure felt unfamiliar, but I eventually found it refreshing. What felt familiar was the community; it's small here, and that closeness brings a different kind of warmth and support. Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story has been a massive success and a significant milestone in your acting career. What initially drew you to this project and how did you prepare? I was immediately drawn to the emotional depth of Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story , and the role of Zhang Xin Niang was such a layered, complex character. It felt like a rare opportunity to explore heritage and identity in a way that was both personal and universal. To prepare, I dove deep into the culture: learning traditional practices, the language nuances and even some nyonya cooking. It wasn't just about playing a role; it was about honouring a legacy. Costumes were such a big part of stepping into Xin Niang's world. The intricate kebayas and accessories weren't just beautiful; they told a story of tradition, class and emotional nuance. Each piece helped me understand her status, her constraints and her quiet acts of rebellion. Another creation by Behati offers a playful twist on the peony, this time in a translucent, peekaboo style. It experiments with proportion and perspective, imagining the motif in a bolder, more daring way. Bee de Chaumet earrings, necklace and rings; Behati bolero, coat and dress; Christian Louboutin shoes; socks, stylist's own. Zantz Han Working alongside your former Skarf bandmate, Ferlyn Wong, must have been a special experience. It was surreal and so special. Ferlyn and I have shared such a unique chapter of our lives together, so stepping onto set with her again felt both familiar and fresh. There was an unspoken trust between us, which made our scenes more intuitive. But we also had to remind ourselves that we were no longer bandmates onstage, we were actors telling a new story. Beyond Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story , you've taken on a diverse range of acting projects. Is there a particular role or genre that you've enjoyed the most? I've loved exploring roles that sit in the grey areas; characters who are emotionally complex and morally conflicted. Those roles teach me a lot about empathy and about not judging people too quickly. Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story challenged me the most in terms of emotional stamina and cultural responsibility. I'd love to dive into psychological thrillers or period dramas with a modern lens. There's so much depth to explore in characters grappling with identity, history and desire. I also hope to work with directors who challenge their actors; people like Anthony Chen or even international voices like Park Chan-wook. Indonesian designer Toton reimagines the kebaya, merging the juxtaposition of fabrics and shape. Bee de Chaumet earrings, necklace, bracelets and ring; Toton top and skirt. Zantz Han What has been the biggest accomplishment or milestone in your career so far? Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story was definitely a turning point. Not just because of the recognition, but because I felt like I poured my heart into it. It was a full-circle moment when all the parts of my journey—dance, performance, language, culture—came together. My loved ones and my cats keep me grounded. I try to create pockets of quiet in a very loud industry, whether it's journalling, cuddling with my cats or just being in nature. Staying connected to my 'why' helps. I do this because I love stories, not because I want to chase perfection. How do you maintain your physical and mental well-being with such a demanding schedule? When I'm filming, the days are long and immersive. I wake early, head to set and stay focused until wrap. On my off days, I try to slow down. A perfect Sunday for me is sleeping in, playing with my cats, journalling and being near nature. Mentally, I give myself permission to rest. Physically, I keep active by hiking or playing badminton with friends, which are fun activities and keep me feeling strong. The use of flowers was thoughtful and intentional, with different blooms chosen for the meanings they held. Zantz Han If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be? Don't rush to become someone else's version of success. Trust your timing. And rest is not a weakness. What do you hope fans take away from your work? I hope they feel seen. Whether it's joy, heartbreak or growth, I want my work to make people feel less alone. That's the magic of performance to me. What are your long-term aspirations for your career in the entertainment industry, both locally and internationally? I hope to keep creating work that feels honest and grounded, whether that's in Singapore or beyond. I'd love to collaborate across cultures and languages, especially in projects that bring Asian stories to the global stage. There's a growing appreciation for local stories and talent, which is encouraging. But there's still room for risk-taking and deeper investment in the arts. I hope we continue to create space for nuanced storytelling and diverse voices. The richness of Peranakan culture can be found even in the intricate details of dishware—quietly emblematic of a heritage built on care and tradition. Zantz Han Tell us about your experience on our Vogue Singapore shoot, which was inspired by Peranakan culture as well. It was such a dream! Fashion is another way I get to express different sides of myself. The Vogue team made me feel bold and elegant, while still being me. I loved playing with textures and silhouettes I wouldn't normally wear. It was liberating. This issue is themed 'Home'. What does the word, in the context of Singapore and SG60, mean to you? Home is where the heart is, a safe space where my loved ones are. After spending years overseas, I've come to treasure the small things here: the smell of local food, the sound of Singlish, the familiarity of faces. Home is comfort. It's identity. SG60 is a moment to reflect on how far we've come as a nation and how much more we can grow, especially creatively. I hope the next chapter includes even more support for the arts and for stories that speak to the heart of who we are. Toton also draws inspiration from white lace kebayas, which gained popularity in the early 20th century among Peranakan, European and Eurasian women. Bee de Chaumet earrings, bracelets and ring, and L'Épi de Bléde Chaumet necklace; Toton top, corset and pants. Zantz Han What were some of your favourite memories growing up? Playing block catching with my cousins and running around void decks barefoot. Life felt simple and joy was everywhere. Those were the days before smartphones and they were magic. What's next? I'll be releasing more music soon—something close to my heart—and diving into a new drama project in the second half of the year. Personally, I'm learning to say yes to things that spark joy and no to things that don't.
